Fireworks as MURKOMEN and KUTTUNY spill beans live on TV - They almost exchanged blows because of sycophancy to DP RUTO

Wednesday November 28, 2018- Elgeyo
Marakwet Senator, Kipchumba Murkomen, and Cherangany MP, Joshua Kuttuny, traded
barbs on national television yesterday over maize scandals that have dogged the
National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB).

Trouble began
when Kuttuny boldly said Deputy President William Ruto needed to come out clear
on the multi-billion maize scandal at the National Cereals and Produce Board
(NCPB).

He alleged that
Koilel Limited, a company affiliated to Ruto, was among suspect entities which
supplied maize to the Strategic Food Reserve (SFR) stores.

However, Murkomen,
a diehard supporter and political protégé of Ruto, took offence with Kuttuny’s
remarks, telling the legislator to respect the country's second in command as
he (Ruto) had literally raised him from the ashes and made him who he was.

"You must
respect William Ruto.”

“He picked you
from the bush selling charcoal, made you a Member of Parliament," Murkomen
said.

But in a quick
rejoinder, Kutuny told Murkomen to respect him too by virtue of having bought
the Senator his first car, a Toyota Harrier, which he used for his first
political campaign as the Elgeyo Marakwet leader.

"You should
not forget I picked you from the streets also.”

“I bought you the
first car for your campaigns and even used to send you money every weekend
through my wife," Kutuny said.

Do we need such leaders really? I mean seriously? Kuttuny in Kale means kneel, he needs to do just that. Murkomen on the other hand i have no idea, i leave it to Marakwets to tell us. I can hazard a guess though, that it is actually supposed to be Murkumin meaning the one that spoils the brew. These two needs to do away with those weird names. Puh!
